Luis Suarez has returned to training alongside his Liverpool team-mates after
apologising for his outspoken comments in demanding a transfer last week.

The Uruguayan forward, who told Telegraph Sport last week that Liverpool had failed to fulfil a ‘promise’ to let him leave Anfield, had been banished from first-team training by manager Brendan Rodgers until he apologised for his actions.

Having denied reports in Uruguay earlier this week that he had resolved to stay at the club this season due to the backing of the Liverpool fans, a resolution to the stand-off between player and club appeared some distance away.

But it is understood that the 26-year-old has now apologised for his comments, prompting Rodgers to restore Suarez to training at Melwood earlier today.

Suarez trained with his team-mates during final preparations for tomorrow’s Premier League opener against Stoke City at Anfield.

However, with the player still to serve six games of a ten-match suspension for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic last season, Suarez will not be eligible to return to Rodgers’ squad for Saturday’s game.
